Surely the spectators expected nothing other than a disaster as they watched? :-o



Yep, I stood at the end of the runway awaiting a fireball

Oooh, am I on the video?

Big bloke, squeezed into a flight suit, can't miss me!! :D

he has asked that it not be posted elsewhere, although he is happy for a link to his original post on the Fighter Control forum - of which you must be a registered member to view the content :)

linky: Fighter Control forum - Victor flight - it will prompt a login screen, where you can register

the Victor flight is right at the end of the 4:55 clip :)

Scary stuff!

My residing memory is still being pinned to the floor of the LPG's transit van by two big, yet useless, fire bottles, whilst trundling down the runway to assess the situation
